Well, it looks like Maggie Gyllenhal's stint as a blond wasn't just a random whim.
The 36-year-old actress was blond for a brief moment (specifically from April to the beginning of June), but then she dyed her hair back to light brown earlier this month.
Because it was just a quick stint we assumed her hair color switch-up was for a role. But now she's revealing to The Independent that there was a very specific reason she decided to go blond.
"I dyed my hair blonde because I wanted to feel better about myself," said Maggie.
"I do like it blonde, but it doesn't make you happy. The truth is: it was a long hard winter and I thought, maybe this will change my life. But it never does. I should know that by now, I'm 36 years old."
success!
